Don't worry...it is normal. I have those days sometimes where I am exhausted, but most of the time I have a lot of energy during the day. I do get a lot more sleep at night now. My surgeon warned me that I might have less energy the first few months due to recovering, and my body adjusting to everything.

I sleep a LOT! Sometimes 10-12 hours a night and then a small nap in the afternoon. I think a lot of it for me is that I sleep really poorly. By the middle of the night I start tossing and turning because I get so sore and my stomach starts getting upset when I lay down for long periods of time. I never feel totally rested. :(

Yes, I have been so sleepy it seems since my surgery. Now, I've always enjoyed a good nap, but now I can get a full night's sleep (7-8 hours), nap for 2+ hours and then still be able to sleep at night. I think our bodies just need it. It's helping us to heal! Don't fight it!

I was the same way. I still can't seem to make it past about 9 PM! My surgeon told me no matter what, to expect to be pooped for at least 6 weeks post-op, both because of having had major surgery and healing. You'll be more a go-go bunny than you ever imagined very soon!
